Food Truck - Guest - 01-25-2014
I was unable to find any information on a food truck or food cart rules and achieving license for Hilo or Puna.
Everything I seem to find is for Honolulu.
Anyone have any suggestion ?
Many Mahalos

There are a couple food trucks in the area. Stop in and ask them.

The rules are from the State DOH so they are the same in Honolulu and Puna.

I know the Mexican food truck parked on Kilauea near the radio station is for sale. They said they have a certified kitchen. Not sure if that is the norm.

This is a recent article that ran on food trucks in Hilo.

One of the problems will be finding a legal location to park a food truck and serve food.

hikatz,
MOstly, Ive known food trucks can be parked anywhere there is legal standard parking. Is the rule different in Hawaii ?
RE: Food Truck - hikatz - 01-26-2014
It depends, if you are talking about having your food truck in Puna, I doubt you will have a problem.
Hilo can be difficult, we have known food trucks pick a location to set up, only to be told they cannot park there.
There is the Farmer's Markets and the old Chevrolet dealership, both great locations.

I plan to get a Honda Element, which is not what you would consider a big food truck, its a small SUV, but plenty to house what I need to steam.
It should fit in any stall, I wonder if the regulations on the food trucks are do to size ?

Not size. More about health standards, permits, fees, etc.
